Bill Parcells coaches for Miami now?

Eh, I'd take this report with a grain of salt. I'm not very trusting of environmental organizations that shoot steroids and hit each other over the head with folding chairs.

So is the average can of tuna going to taste better, or worse?

Just tackling the issue that really matter.

Well done. I lol'd, unexpectedly.

I guess those special nets I remember seeing articles about more than 25 years ago never really made it out to the trawlers?

\saw it coming

Toro bizzitches.

It's what's for dinner.

(When I get paidz though.)

Toro

Mmmm Toro....screw the sea birds, bring on the fresh tuna!

Maybe they should trawl those nets downtown. Scrap some of the rotten tuna that prowls there.

camelclub: The environmental/conservationist's crowd tells me that we are overfishing the planet and killing off whole species.

The medical crowd is telling me to eat fish 2-3 times a week to stay healthy and help prevent nasty diseases.

What do I do? What do I do? Eat fish and be happy or join the conservationist's and die sooner yet knowing I made a difference? Aaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!

If you're wondering about how to eat fish and not feel like you're wiping out species, there is good info at this link from the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

They use a traffic-light colour coding system to indicate 'best choices', 'good alternatives', and 'avoid', and you can print out a card to keep in your wallet. It's also done up for different regions in the US so you can find out about fish you're likely to see in stores and restaurants in your area.

/TFA makes me sad :/

Mussels - plus the "classic" way to prepare them involve lots of butter, wine and shallots and washed down with Belgian beer.

/most mussles are farmed and actually better than "wild" since farming allows them to grow bigger

Do we need Albatrosses?

How come everyone feels so sorry about the Dolphins being killed, but no one gives a shiat about the Tuna?

/they need a better PR firm

OK, enough about fish, where's the tuna?!?!?

Longlines are not nets, it is a longass line of baited hooks, like a trotline.

Thank, ironrat, subby and writer both got it wrong

Back when companies were introducing "dolphin safe" tuna, I thought Star-Kist missed a good ad campaign: dress Charlie in a dolphin costume, with him saying he'd get caught, then have the announcer say "Sorry, Charlie, Star-Kist tuna is dolphin safe..."

31 motherfarking comments and not a single Lethal Weapon 2 reference???

SHAME ON YOU ALL!!!!

I thought "tuna net" was a euphemism with which I was unfamiliar. Something akin to the venerable 'banana hammock'.

"But what about the tuna?"
"Fark the tuna -- they taste good."

i came in here to say this. i stopped reading the article when it said "lonline tuna nets..."

that is akin to saying "lead guitar drummer..."

///could give you mountains of data if you want

I came here to say what Ironrat said. There are long lines and there are drift nets. Never heard of long nets. The story was written in a way to incite feelings against the fishing industry without using facts. Birds, dolphins, turtles and more may be getting tangled in long lines and this needs to be addressed but not at the expense of shutting down whole cultures and economies. Reminds me of how the hippies in the 1960s wanted to end all industry, chemical aided farming, and in general everything owned by 'Them rich people". Truth never stood in their way to propagandize their beliefs either.

Way I remember it, albatross was a ship's good luck, 'til some idiot killed it.

Yes, I read a poem. Try not to faint.
